title: Endovascular conversion procedure for failed primary endovascular aortic stent-grafts.
abstract: Initial failure of successful deployment of endovascular aortic stent-grafts can be due to a variety of factors and frequently requires surgical intervention. We describe an endovascular technique for salvaging initially failed tubular aortic and bifurcated aortoiliac stent-grafts with reference to three cases.
